The dissertation employs three major research methodologies by: (1) centralizing the role of social class in the Episcopal Church's history, (2) seriously considering the Episcopal Church's distinctive theology, and (3) quantifying the connections that linked the Episcopal Church to the South's economic structures prior to the Civil War. Archival research, periodicals, and published records related to the Protestant Episcopal Church provided the primary evidence used in the formulation of the dissertation's interpretations and conclusions.

  • Annual Report of the 233Rd Convention January 26-27, 2018
    Annual Report of the 233rd Convention January 26-27, 2018 Princess Royale Hotel Ocean City, Maryland Welcome from our 233rd Convention Host Parish St. Luke’s Episcopal Church Seaford, Delaware Historic St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, located in Seaford, Delaware, dates back to 1837. The parish has a rich history of vital ministry and mission in this corner of Sussex County and in the Diocese of Delaware. The congregation continues to touch the lives of this community today. St. Luke’s has been a lay-administered congregation since 2011. We continue to operate under this model, with lay teams that lead in finance, worship, pastoral care, education, outreach, facilities maintenance, and Bible studies. Pastor Marianne Ell strengthens and equips us to continue growing in this. Pastor Marianne celebrates Holy Eucharist each Sunday, leads seasonal studies during Advent and Lent, assists with critical pastoral care, and provides inspirational direction. In this way we are able to develop ministries that witness to Christ’s love in the world. Our church building has a rich history as well. Built in 1843 and reconstructed in 1904, it is a two-story, brick, Gothic revival-style building with a one-story chancel, crenellated three- story tower, and stained-glass lancet windows. Concrete buttresses were installed in 1943. St. Luke’s was organized by the Rev. Corry Chambers in 1835 from the former St. Mary’s congregation. St. Mary’s was founded in 1704, but disestablished after the American Revolution. Delaware Governor William H. H. Ross (1814–1887) is buried in the churchyard. St. Luke’s was listed on the National Registry of Historic Places in 1977.
